Answer:

Juliet meant when she says her face "is not mine own" that:

She is disguising her true emotions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Juliet expresses her true feelings in a hidden way by saying the line. She is indirectly pointing out her life to be now devoted to Romeo. At the same time, Paris assumes that Juliet is speaking this line in his context. He assumes that Juliet has assumed herself to be his wife and so she regards herself to be not her own.
